Another holistic tool for successful weight loss program. #Homeopathy
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
It may not be the first thing people think of, but homeopathy can be a useful adjunct to weight loss...and more importantly, keeping it off. A constitutional remedy helps redress the underlying emotional issues that lead to overeating. As the article point out, the choice of remedy is also partly determined by the type of food a person craves: some crave fatty foods, some salty, some sweet and some sour. The right remedy helps reduce these cravings. At this Perth clinic we use naturopathic dietary advice and counselling in conjunction with homeopathic remedies to help with weight loss.

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
This trial investigated the use of constitutional homeopathic medice (CM), organ specific or organopathic medicines (OM) and in combination (BCOM). All groups showed considerable improvement, but the best result was the combination of both (BCOM). This conforms to the way we the way we treat at this Perth naturopathic clinic: http://www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-prostate-conditions-and-men-problems.asp

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
It is often claimed by sceptics than any positive effects of homeopathy are merely due to the placebo effect. There are now many studies, like that reported here, that show that homeopathy also works in animals. One would reasonably assume these results could not be due to placebo

"These data suggest that potentized (diluted and vigorously shaken) potassium dichromate may help to decrease the amount of stringy tracheal secretions in COPD patients."
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Who would have thought it? Actually, any homeopath would. Now we would have clinical proof that homeopathy is useful in the hospital situation. Kali bichromicum or potassium dichromate is used in homeopathy for thick, sticky mucus secretions. Here it has found to be useful in assisting the removal of tubes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. See our page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/conditions-treated.asp

Klimaktoplan® has an anti-proliferative effect on breast cancer cells, but not for non-malignant mammary epithelial cells, unlike E2 and E2 + P. With further research, KP would be a good alternative or additive in women with menopausal symptoms who wish to avoid conventional E or E + P hormone therapy.

Homeopathic Potencies Identified By A New Magnetic Resonance Method: Homeopathy'”An Energetic Medicine
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
We know there is no material substance contained in homeopathic remedies. The philosophy of homeopathy has always talked of a non-material Vital Force that is the template of our physical existence. When this is out of balance, ill health or disease results. The only way to properly restore health is through an energetic influence that "re-tunes" the Vital Force or life energy. This study shows that there are ways to measure the "energy" contained in homeopathic remedies. See our page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/homeopathy-explained.asp

"The findings of our study demonstrate that patients who seek homeopathic treatment are primarily those suffering from long-standing, chronic disease. Both according to physician and patient assessments, the severity of complaints decreased markedly over the 24-month observation period. Younger patients and those with more severe disease appear to benefit most from homeopathic treatment. Among adults and children, we observed an increase in quality of life. Our findings indicate that homeopathic medical therapy may play a beneficial role in the long-term care of patients with chronic diseases."

Here is a summary of the findings of all RCT's on homeopathy, the "gold standard" of clinical trials from 1950 until 2011. Given the difficulties of conducting a placebo-controlled trial on homeopathy, which has a patient-specific approach, these results, which are well above placebo, are undeniable
